Austin Peay Junior Nicole Jamen posted her season’s second double-double, scoring 23 points and grabbing 11 rebounds – both game bests. She was joined by senior April Thomas who recorded her season’s fourth double-double with 15 points and 10 rebounds.

The duo’s efforts were part of an overwhelming night in the paint as the Lady Govs posted a 34-16 scoring edge in the paint against the Eagles. Austin Peay attempted a season-low seven three-point field goals in the contest while Morehead State fired 31 three-point attempts.

Austin Peay (6-8, 2-1 OVC) took control of the game on both sides of the halftime break. Trailing by eight points, 20-12, with 6:39 remaining, the Lady Govs used an 18-7 half-ending run to take a 30-27 lead into halftime. On the other side of the break, APSU bolted out of the gate with a 22-7 run over the first 8:27 to build an 18-point advantage, 52-34, with 11:33 left and would not be threatened the game’s remainder.

Morehead State (8-7, 2-1) grabbed its eight-point first-half lead courtesy a 14-2 scoring burst over four minutes with contributions from five different players. However, Austin Peay recovered by feeding its posts, scoring 10 of its 18 half-ending points in the paint and making all four of its free throws in that same span.
